How it works

Super- IOR is a new generation of nano chemical to increase oil recovery. Which has ability to :

  • Reduce IFT. IFT is the tendency of an interface between two immiscible fluid. High IFT between oil and rock will restrain oil flow to the pore or matrix. With  strong imbibition displacement force, SUPER-IOR™ is able to  force oil out from the matrix (trapped oil) and then oil flow  to the fracture (water channel) space. This mechanism should be performed  in spontaneous imbibition condition where movement of SUPER-IOR™ solution  in the fracture system (water channel) is very low. Research and development of SUPER-IOR™ had been resulting in several chemical formulation which could be implemented in different types of oil reservoirs.
  • Wettability Alteration. Wettability alteration works by changing the property of reservoir from oil wet to non-oil wet. In an oil-wet rock, oil has tendency to stick the rock due to hydrophobicity of the walls of porous media.
  • Reduce mixture viscosity. With Super-IOR solution, mixture viscosity decrease significantly.
